[QUOTE="Sparleb644, post: 1044090, member: 78256"] My wife and I did the Norte in 2018 in May. So can’t speak to the fall weather. The section from San Sébastien to Bilbao is the hilliest part of the Norte. The subsequent section is less. I was imprudent on the Deba - Markina day and didn’t drink enough and didn’t keep my legs warm (I have an old knee injury). We had to skip to Bilbao after that day and took a day off. Then things were OK. I was 59 when we did it. Because of the cumulated ups and downs each day, if you start around 8 - 8:30, you will arrive around 4. That does give you time to visit the towns. Supper in Spain is later - after 8:30 and the whole town has happy hour around 7 - fun to watch the kids and parents in the main squares….. Many of the towns are very small, so you wont need to add km to your day. And the views are spectacular. Surprisingly, in this section you dont spend too much time near the ocean. A lot in Basque hill towns. you’re right to beware of walking several days in a row. That is very different from weekend day hikes. So [USER=52787]@trecile[/USER] advice about training and shoes is spot on. If your main bag is ferried ahead and you only have a light day pack that will help. Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
